As part of ADMAF's mission to support national talent academically, artistically and professionally, Abu Dhabi Festival celebrates Emirati culture and identity throughout its programme. From visual artists to filmmakers, writers to musicians, emerging and established Emirati talents lead the way across multiple initiatives, both at home and abroad – participating in professional development programmes, delivering educational projects as well as presenting and performing their own work.

THIRD-PARTY EVENTS

With more than 100 events across the seven emirates, Abu Dhabi Festival is a packed celebration of the nation’s talent and diversity. Each year, the Festival welcomes individuals and fellow non-profit-making and community-based organisations to be part of the month-long nationwide Festival programme.
